On 13 March 2019, the first trial of the digital international bill of lading (e-CMR) was carried out by Sarmed.
The formal launch of the pilot project in Greece under the European AEOLIX program is part of a wider strategy to digitize transport documents as a tool to facilitate trade and enhance supply chain competitiveness by increasing efficiency and at the same time reducing administrative costs as well as the environmental footprint.
The pilot project in Greece is co-ordinated by the Federation of Truck Trucks of Greece, which is one of the 5 members of the International Road Transport Union (IRU) participating in AEOLIX together with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.
Sarmed expresses its warmest thanks to OFAE for the selection, trust and its support throughout the project.
